This is a casual, battle-cruiser style, mono-white Ajani-tribal deck that utilizes Oloro's static ability as an emblem. In gaining life, you trigger the various life-gain related effects that White has to offer, all of which conveniently center around themes related to Ajani's planeswalker abilities.

Through Life Gain, the deck has you created several different kinds of creature tokens and put +1/+1 counters on them. For example: Twilight Drover can remove +1/+1 counters from itself to put 1/1 spirits into play which causes Auriok Champion to gain you life which, in turn, causes Archangel of Thune to put +1/+1 counters on all of your creatures (specifically Twilight Drover again). Serene Steward allows you to take advantage of Oloro's life gain and put +1/+1 counters on creatures that can effectively utilize them like Shinewend, Mikaeus, Twilight Shepherd, and Twilight Drover.

Effects like Abzan Battle Priest and Herald of War (there's Human/Angel sub-theme) help feed your board expansion engine by giving your creatures life link and making them easier to cast.

Cards like Rootborn Defenses, Unbreakable Formation, and Selfless Spirit, and Together Forever help protect your board while also synergizing with your +1/+1 counter strategy. Sword of Light and Shadow helps you recur creatures like Selfless Spirit while also gaining you life.

4 is the magic number for life gain here. A lot of the cards here conveniently cause you to gain 4 or more life on a given turn, which is enough for you to trigger Angelic Accord at the end of your turn. Rhox Faithmender, for example, conveniently has it so that you gain 4 life from Oloro on your upkeep. Gaining 3 life will cause your lone rider to flip into a 4/4 life-linker. If you gain 5 life, you can trigger Resplendent Angel. This also makes Umezawa's least used life gain ability relevant.

Tokens is this deck's main form of card advantage. You will often use your tokens to trade, attack, and overwhelm your opponent's board. You don't need to overextend your board with so many cards. Just play enough so that you have a token engine going and begin piloting the deck through what you create, rather than what you play. If your board gets wiped, build another token engine from your hand, if you're able to. Don't overextend with too many token engines, otherwise you will be punished badly from a board wipe. There's a Sword of Truth of Justice and Mentor of the Meek in here to help assist with card draw. Play smart. Don't be greedy.

NOTE: Cards to add—-the new Heliod and Daxos
